Like most Americans, I have infrequent occasions to communicate with the IRS. Following is the
letter I'd LIKE to send them with my next quarterly payment.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Another quarter has ended, and it's time for me, as a good and law abiding citizen, to pay my tax
bill. I usually just send it in mindlessly like evrybody else, but this time I have some conditions.
1. I will send you the payment due when the President of the United States guarantees me that
not a single penny of it will be spent to support the practice of abortion, which violates my moral
conscience.
2. I will send the check as soon as he promises publicly that none of it will support healthcare for
undocumented aliens who are in this country illegally.
3. I'll ship it right out when he stops importing dangerous terrorists from Guantanamo Bay at our
expense to my homeland and swears that he in no way signed off on the release of Libya's Lockerbie
bomber by the United Kingdom.
4. The check will be in the mail immediately after he stops shelling out money and favors to the
labor unions, ACORN and the New Black Panthers, and insists that they abide by the same laws
as the rest of us.
5. Payment will be rendered promptly when he tells the truth about the future deficits that will
be spawned by his so-called "healthcare reform" bill, and his seemingly unending string of
bailouts.
6. I'll pay right up when Congressman Charlie Rangel has paid all of his back tazes and been kicked
out of the House of Representatives, and when Chris Dodd and Kent Conrad are forced to refinance
their mortgages at the same rates others had to pay when they took them out.
You see I'd like to send it now. I really would. But giving this irresponsible administration and
corrupt congress money is like feeding peanuts to elephants. However much you give them they
want more.
Get back to me when honest grownups are once again making decisions about how to spend it and
maybe we can work something out.

That's the letter I'd LIKE to send. If we all did it maybe we could get their attention. Oh, sure,
they could put us all in jail. But remember, in the 1700's King George tried to KILL all the
colonists when they refused to pay up. Look what that got him. It's food for thought.
